So move or um motion. I'll second. Okay. Moved by David, seconded by Jeff, and call for vote. And the motion carries. Okay. Item number 13.0, special legal and discussion items. Um, so we will conduct a public hearing and receive a presentation on the 202526 local control accountability plan in conjunction with
015the budget overview for parents. And so um we will first hear our presentation and then we will have our public [Music] hearing. All right. Good evening, Madame President Williamson. Um, esteemed board members, superintendent Kich, cabinet colleagues, community. Um, we're here tonight, myself and Dr. Chang to present the 24 or I'm sorry, 2526 LCAP. Um, so this year is a little bit different of an LCAP. In in years past, we've presented the LCAP and the annual update. So the annual update was this year's LCAP and then we presented the LCAP for next year. Um the template has changed and the annual update is actually included in the LCAP. So we don't have separate presentations. Um the way that the this current LCAP is structured, the annual update is in it when you look at like some
016of the material differences and the different things that that occurred in this year in the LCAP. So, we're going to talk um and we'll get into more of that into the detail, but for now, we're talking about the overview of the LCAP and and that's essentially what is the LCAP? Um it's a plan that spends local control funding formula money. Um that is based off of our UP population, which is our unduplicated pupil percentage. Um and and we'll go into what that consists of. So, what we're going to be looking at today is you'll see um the budget overview for parents, you'll see the state priorities, the plan summary, um the engaging educational partners, goals, actions, and then the actual budget. Um so, what is it? The the LCAP is a three-year plan. And what's
017important for this particular presentation is this is for the 2526 LCAP for next year um with this year's update built into it. and that this is our second year of a three-year plan. So, the LCAPS run on a three-year cycle. Um, this year was our first year. Next year would be our second year um of this LCAP cycle. Um, the upp makeup in our district uh for Bumont Unified is English learners. We have approximately 7% English learners. Um, 68.8% is our lowincome or socioeconomically disadvantaged. You'll see it referred to in the in the document. and then um 7% foster youth. Those three areas make up the purpose of the LCAP. So the LCAP is driven or by law um stated as principally directed to those three um categories of student groups. Um it doesn't mean
018that it that actions can't benefit all students, but they have to be principally directed to those three um student groups by law. This is the budget overview for parents and um it is a state template and diagram. So it um it can be confusing. And so the big thing to point out here is that on the right hand side of the of this pi graph um you can see that 15% of the pi of the of all LCFF funds is for supplemental and concentration which is what the LCAP is designed for. And that amount is 32,414,324% or representative of 15% of LCFF funds. Um, this is a slide that we that we've kept in over the years. As just a reminder, these are the eight state priorities. And so the LCAPS are designed around the
019eight state priorities. So you can see these big bubbles on the outside and they're colorcoded. So the purple ones, um, if you kind of go down from from the from the big bubbles, there's conditions of learning. So that's the theme of those three areas, which is basic necessities, state standards, and access to courses, and then student outcomes, um, student achievement, other student outcomes, and then engagement. And that's school climate, student engagement, and parent involvement. And so our goals, we have three goals. Um actually we have five goals uh with two equity multiplier goals, but our three broad goals, our three main goals, goal one, two, and three are all um based around those three main areas of the eight state priorities. And I'll turn it over to Dr. Chain. Thank you. All right. Um and
020so Dr. Brown went over the broad overview about what an LCAP is and what it looks like. What I'm going to go over is a little more detailed information about our specific 2526 LCAP. So, part of that LCAP that we need to include is the plan summary, a reflection, and a goal analysis. And so, in the next several slides, I'm going to um share with you some of the successes we've had. And so here you can see a lot of successes that we've had in the academic achievement and readiness um areas. And one of the areas that I do want to focus on is on the right column third down it says reduced DNF rates. So I do want to highlight that key success. We've lowered um by 5.3% uh in the first semester and
0213.9% in the second semester for core classes. This is at the secondary level for English and math core classes. Another one I want to emphasize um on the left side we have positive school climate and well-being. On the right side we have effective systems and supports. And one of the key areas that we've been working really hard on has been on improved attendance and reducing chronic absenteeism. And as you can see, chronic absenteeism has declined by 10.2% overall. And we've seen huge um success. And when it says homeless students minus 16.8, that's huge because that is a um population that is um in need of greater support. Um truency rate decreased by 18%, overall attendance rate increased by 1 1.02%. We still have room to continue to grow because we are still not there precoid
022um data. However, we are completely moving in the right direction and we've had many many um actions and supports in place for from um counseling support, mental health support all the way down to um attendance texts that we've put put in place. And we have many levels of support at the district level, at the school level, in the classrooms, and we have collaborated really well in this area. This one um lists all of the areas of needs that um drives our LCAP. It is based on the 22 23 data. So none of it is new. It is the same set of data that we use because it's a three-year cycle. we have to keep these in the LCAP the 22 data. So um Dr. Brown mentioned that instead of three goals we now have five
023goals. The reason for that is um every year the district will or the state will identify equity multiplier schools. There's an extra fund that goes along with it and it's based on two criteria. Um one being the non-stability rate. if the non-stability rate of a school is greater than 25%. Um or and it's an and the SED rate the lowinccome rate is higher than 70%. So it's both of those criteria has to be met. then the school now qualifies to be an equity multiplier school. And once a school qualifies for that, they do receive extra funds, but they also have to have a specific equity multiplier focused goal. And that is a reason why we now have um five LCAP goals instead of three because 21st century um learning institute has met 47% non-stability rate
024and 75% SED rate. And then Glen View High School has 69.4% non-stability rate which is common for continuation high schools and 76.7% SED. Another key component of writing the LCAP is including the engaging uh including the educational partner feedback and utilizing their input in shaping our LCAP. And so here is a list of um how we were able to engage our educational partners and utilize all of that information in helping shape the LCAP um actions. And so one of the things I wanted to highlight is on the right side at the very top it says LCAP advisory committee. So that's something we started this year and that LCAP advisory committee met um three times and it was made up of composed of all educational partners including principles, teachers, staff, um teachers, parents, um students and
025so we'll continue to work on that um you you utilizing the OKCAP advisory committee as a vehicle for gathering additional information. Another piece of information that was detrimental or extremely helpful and key in guiding our insight were the surveys. And we shifted from thought partners in the previous year to K12 insight. And we were um successful in our first launch because we had 830 responses from families, 371 responses from staff and 4,38 responses from students. and that is um extremely helpful to hear everyone's input. um some of the feedback um that we gather from them, we actually look at in order to determine because we're looking at all of the data sets, we're determining what kind of actions can it um foster, what what are the um engaged educational partners telling us that we need
026to improve. And an example was targeted support for our ELTELS and ELEL's and foster youth and um students with disability. And so that led to things like a revision of action 2.8 where we added an additional bilingual aid at San G action 3.5 where we are um adding Eltel staffing um in order to better support those services. So, here's an overview of all of our five goals. Um, the first one, um, is all about climate and culture. The second one is about the student outcome. We're looking at academic, behavioral, and social success. And the third one is the condition of learning. And then the fourth one and the fifth one are the new ones. and we are required to um address um the red areas within our um dashboard. And so the fourth goal is
027about chronic absenteeism and the fifth one is on CCI or college and career indicator. And so, um, because it's a three-year plan, unless there's ex a a reason why, um, we need to change things, we tend to keep them, but we do adjust them every year to make sure it matches what the needs are and what we have actually spent. Um, so 1.5 is an area where we did increase because that is also where our attendance technician, for example, is um, funded out of. And so in order to continue the support and the need for that area, we did increase that action item. Um and here we have 1.14 for example is an area that is continuing to grow um as the support for mental health piece is continuely um um highlighted. And for example,
028um, our panorama data shows that we dipped in some of the sense of belonging at the secondary level. So these are areas that would be utilizing to support those items. For our goal two, um, for 2.5 instructional coaches, for example, based on data, there's two sites that will be getting additional coaches. um 2.13 for example um we expanded that from kinder to fifth to kinder to 12th so that we can continue to support um STEM implementation at all levels. um supplemental materials we definitely want to provide and as we're utilizing the consumable items for example we want to continue to support um the 95% for example um I had already mentioned that 3.4 four has seen a lot of success with the drop in the D and F rate. So we'll continue that and we
029are supporting those pieces. And this is the new part. Um so I'm going to go ahead and read the goal. It says 21st century learning institutes, all students, social economically disadvantaged students and Hispanic students, those were the groups that were in the red, will decrease chronic absenteeism 3% every year. So that's our goal. the metric is the chronic absenteeism. So um after um talking to our principal, our director, looking at the input from the educational partners, we deemed that student attendance support was the greatest um support piece that would increase chronic absent or improve chronic absenteeism. And then the goal five, which is the last one, is for Glen View. Um, again, all students, socioeconomically disadvantaged students and Hispanic students will increase student performance on the CCI by 4%. And CCI, as you know, um,
030has various um, items that can help it increase. The items that is the lowest hanging fruit really are the dual enrollment classes, the college classes. um if they have two semesters so for example they would u meet the CCI or seal of biiteracy is another one that's good one and so those are various areas that we're supporting and then finally here's a overall summary we have the base grant and then the LCFF supplemental and concentration grant um so last year it was about 29 million this year it's about 32 million Um, and of the 32 million, we planned for 32 million. So, that's what that last line says. Um, and so it looks like we have a good um plan. Thanks to all of your support. Um, any questions? Thank you. Thank you for the
031presentation. It was very well put together. Thank you. Um so um chronic absenteeism at our virtual academy. Um uh what what is what are the absenteeism what are the absentee numbers like that are we looking at we're looking to improve chronic absenteeism at 21st century but what percentage of our kids are chronically absent from our virtual school um I think it's around 40ome percent I don't have it off the top but if um do they have the LCAP draft uh yes yes it. If you look at the LCAP goal number four, I have that data included right in the description. Okay. All that data. Um, and then what I'm looking at the CCI information for Glen View. What um what pathways do we offer at Glen View? And is this some of this money going
032to go to create a pathway at Glen View or are we only focusing on I I noticed where it was mentioned the adding some opportunity for kids to take dual enrollment classes and adding opportunities for kids to do some other stuff, but is there a plan to invest in some sort of uh more traditional pathway there to meet that need or is Yeah. So currently we have a um a patient care pathway at Glen View and that's a full-blown um full FTE career teched teacher that runs that entire pathway. Um the problem there's a couple problems. Um some students, you know, as we know, they want to go into that career field and some don't. And so those that don't want to don't typically enroll in that. So, some of the money we are setting
033aside in that equity multiplier goal is to build out um another path like a highinterest pathway. We're still toying with the idea of like a retroraphics or a print shop type thing or maybe even a um we were talking about like recording studio, some digital music production, that kind of thing. So, we're still working on on building a second pathway there and that would be a traditional, you know, inseat pathway. Mhm. The the other problem that exists um which is very it's it's very common at continuation schools. So we get the students when they're in 11th grade. They're usually there because they didn't necessarily pass all their classes. So for them to be a completer, a CT completer, they have to complete two years of a sequence pathway. Um if they don't start right away,
034they are not a completer. if they start um you know or if they come over their senior year and they haven't done any career teched in the at the high school, they'll never be a a completer. And so we're always kind of behind the eightball there with a with continuation students um and trying to meet the the one-sizefits-all college and career indicator. So that's why you'll see some of the other actions like state seal biiteracy is another way that that kids can be can become college ready. um also taking one year of dual enrollment uh or one year of college classes, they're considered college ready among some other things. So, it's kind of a multi-pronged approach to try to increase the college and career indicator there. I'm sorry, one more question just to add to
035that. Um when we talk about CT completion, CT completion itself does not meet the college and career indicator requirement in know in order to meet it. In addition to that, they have to get a three on an ELA, ESPback or a math and a two on the other one or they have to take a semester of college classes. So there's other criteria it has to meet in conjunction to it. And that's what I meant when I said the lowest hanging fruit because we can't always capture them there. So we're going to capture them where we know we can. And then my my other question was you mentioned that the CT pathway that's there is sort of like a a medical tech kind of program. Um is there any sort of feeder process to get them
036from that into the LVN program once they graduate and are eligible for adult school? Is there like a ramp up or Yeah, not necessarily a ramp up, but certainly um an educational process. So, um you know, our our teacher there, he's very well connected to all of our schools. Um he's actually the one who organizes the the entire HOSA competitions throughout the district. So, he pulls kids from Bowmont High School. He pulls them from even some of the u middle school kids to get them to understand what's available to them. Uh but he also coordinates with our adult school. The um the VN program what we would like to get to is like a priority registration or some sort of priority entrance if they've completed a pathway through us. We're not quite there yet, but
037um it's certainly something that we we can work on. Okay. So, um, same same area that do we have kids in dual enrollment or concurren concurrent enrollment from Glen View at the at you're talking about Mount Sino, right? Yes. Yeah. So, we do have some of those students that we do. Yeah. Um, I'm going to guess not very many, but we have a few. We do. Yeah. Okay. And then seal of biiteracy. So, do we have um dual language being taught there or is that How does that work? Um, so, so there's there's a kind of variety of different ways that kids can qualify for that. So, um, they would take an AP exam and pass in certain languages. Um, at Glen View, it it could be Benisha, do you want to give us a
038hand on that one? We we don't have DLI classes at Glen View, but we do teach Spanish and we teach languages. Um and so again, very it's a it's a few kids, but it it does exist. Go ahead. Good evening. Um we do have actually this year we have three completers um three student seal um recipients. We would have had four, but one decided to return to VHS to graduate at the high school, which is a blessing. Um, so we do have them use egeneuity for Spanish. They can also dual enroll within the district to take Spanish um at BHS if needed. However, most of them elect to go through schools in the district in order to meet that that recommendation. And we also, as stated, work with U. Mr. Coronado. Um the nursing program
039is frequently on our campus um to support our students as far as giving them that pathway from our medical um to our adult school as well. Thank you. The only this is LCAP now we're looking eight nine years now. How do how does the community or even myself, how do we keep track of that moving thirdyear target when an item is placed like the new one we have for Century 21? It has a three-year target for for growth. Um, but others have been in play and then have dropped off. How how do we keep track of what's dropped off or what's been met over over a timeline? So, um, that's where this, uh, cycle of LCAP is a little different. Um, I would say the first five years or so of the LCAP, it was
040kind of just a hit and miss. Throw things, you know, at the wall and see what sticks. Um, this cycle is is pretty intentional. So, when you look at the IIS, it's the increase in improved services for everything, um, which everything was new last year. So we had to list every single action as an increase in improved service. And there are metrics that are um that are listed out there that we are that we have to show that those every single action is is um has a measured improvement. And based on the new laws and the and the new way the template um is written and is designed is that if those actions are not showing a a demonstrable increase or improvement, then we have to eliminate them, change them, get rid of them, um
041replace them with something that we believe will help. So to answer your question, which I don't know if I'm I'm doing, but the previous templates really didn't account for ongoing actions that just kept showing up in the LCAP year after year after year. this particular template, this three-year, and we're in the second, next year will be the second year of the cycle really does take into account of if it's not working and you can't show that it's working, we have to prove to the county that um that we're changing it or we're we're eliminating it and creating something different. Okay? And the reason why I bring that up too because I don't want to see five years from now an action that we tried come back again because people have people have moved on and
042if it didn't work why are we bringing but nobody would know if there's not a historical record to reference rather quickly. Right. Right. That's a good very good point. Okay. And then you mentioned for example the equity multiplier goals. Right. Um because this is a three-year cycle, in each of the goals, you'll find a metric section where we have the baseline da d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d da for one you'll see a blank column because we're not there yet. And then we have the target and then the last column shows you how much has gone up or down. And so
043for the equity multiplier, because it's something we added this year, we're going to have a blank one last year and we're just joining in this first year and then we'll continue next year. But at the third year, we're going to make that decision. Um, and because equity multiplier is not on a three-year cycle, it's every year it's going to be identified again. So, if for some reason 21st century falls below the 25% non-stability rate, it is no longer an equity multiplier school. And that's going to be an annual determination. Um, and as soon as it is no longer um determined that it's an equity multiplier school, the funding also stops. So it's not a continuing funds either. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Um Oh, so Maize did look it up and it 21st century chronic absenteeism
044is 41.9%. But I was wondering what is non-stability rate? Can you explain that? So, um, it's really hard to explain, but in a nutshell, a student that is not consecutively enrolled for more than 245 days would be counted as a non-stable person student. Okay. Okay. All right. Thank you. Okay. All right. So, if that is all the questions from the board, then I'll open the public hearing at 6:52 p.m. Do we have any comments from the public? Okay. So, I will close the public hearing at 6:52 p.m. All right. So, moving on to item 13.2. Um, conduct a public hearing and receive a presentation on the 202526 preliminary budget. Last one. Carmen. Last one. Good evening, President Williamson. Uh, Superintendent Kakkesh, board members, cabinet, colleagues, and guests. So tonight we're presenting the budget for the
0452526 school year and included in the budget is also the estimated actuals for 2425 which will project our ending balance for the current year and then when we bring when you see this budget again it'll be at the next board meeting for adoption. So beginning with the assumptions, the assumptions are created based on the governor's January proposal and regarding the COLA. The COLA was projected back then at 2.43%. A couple of weeks ago, the governor released the May revised and adjusted that or that COLA amount percentage was adjusted to 2.30. So, that'll be revised in a in a in a future budget um report. The district enrollment is projected to increase 2 and 12% uh moving into next year. Um just as a a note, the increase from the 23 24 school year to the
0462425 school year was approximately 3%. So, we're comfortable with that 2.5% increase. And then as far as the ADA, the en the budget was built on a 95 a 94% um attendance rate. Um for the unduplicated per uh pupil percentage, the rolling uh average is 69.83. And then moving on to the retirement rate, uh STRS is projected to stay at 19.10. And then the PERS rate is projected to decrease a little bit in the next fiscal year. So, regarding the budget, um we're projecting to end the year with a 50.1 ending balance and then um in 2526, our our ending balance is projected to be at $26.7 million. I'm at 50.1 million in the current year. I think I said percent, but it's $50.1 million. And then included in the ending balance is of course
047the restricted account, the reserve for economic uncertainties, the commitments um that were approved by board resolution and then also the assignments and we'll go over all of those count and and um slides later on. So starting with the revenue, our revenue overall is expected to increase by $9.5 million. And the big reason for that is uh for the growth that we're projecting in the LCFF resources and also the cola rate. The federal dollars were projected to decrease slightly by about $600,000 and that is due to our medical dollars. We um recognize those as we receive them and um as we get them we'll potentially uh well we will add them back into the budget. The state revenue is um decreasing by $1.3 million and that is mostly due to some of our CTE grants um
048ending on June 30th of 2025. local revenue is slightly decreased because um that includes things the the majority of that is our special ed SULPA dollars, but it also includes things that we bill for like our um transportation, field trips, um anything that happens out of the ASB accounts are included in that account and that is also revenue that we recognize as we receive it. And then transfers in are slightly well they're lower in the future year in the next budget year because in 2425 we did receive some um onetime CNS child nutrition funds. So here this that all of that information is spelled out on this slide. Moving on to the expenditures. So expenditures are increasing. Uh the majority of that increase is due to the salaries and benefits because that includes the step
049and column increases, the new positions that we've added to the budget for next year, and then also the projected um salary increases. The other um significant amount that is being adjusted is under services. The reason that the services expenditures are projected to be lowered next year is because our contracts, we don't budget our contracts um based on until we need them. So, we have budgeted fully for all of our staff and as the staff we have vacancies or um somebody is out on leave, then that means that we may have to use a contract to fill some of those vacancies. And as that happens, our salary budget will decrease and our contract budget will de will increase. Capital outlay is decreased. Um the reason for that is because this year we did complete the surveillance
050project and that was onetime expenditure. So that was reduced from the budget for in the in the budget year. So as far as the components of the ending fund balance, we start with the restricted funds and these are grants that we've received for specific purposes. They have their own resource and anything that is not spent out of those accounts is carried over into the future future year. So we are expecting to spend down some of our restricted balances. Um, for example, in the expanded learning opportunity program, we're carrying over approximately $3 million. And that just means uh most of that money has been budgeted in the 2526 school year. Same thing with lottery. That's another um significant amount. We have about $900,000 that we're projecting to carry over into next year and then we're budgeting
051it out in the 2526 school year. So overall for the restricted ending balances, we're ending we're projecting to end the year with $13 million and then in 2627 we're expecting to carry over $6.1 million of that of the restricted um accounts. And then as far as a reserve for economic uncertainties, our district in our district because of the size, we're required to um reserve 3.3% of our budget and that equates to $7.2 million in the 2526 school year. And then through board resolution we've all we are have all we already we also set aside um 8.33% as a um reserve for economic uncertainties and that equates to one month of operating expenditures. So the commitment out of the ending fund balance is approximately $9.7 million in the 2526 school year. And then moving on to
052the assignments which is the last category in the uh components of the ending fund balance and this mo is mostly uh made up of the health and welfare health and welfare pools and also the vacation liability. So that equates to about five I'm sorry $3.6 million um that is set aside for the um assignments. So the contributions from the unrestricted general fund include special ed. That amount is increasing and that again is due to the positions that we've budgeted for in the next school year. Um it includes the um projected raises um salary increases and then also the step and column increases. For rout routine restricted maintenance, we're required to set aside 3% out of our out of our budget for um routine restricted maintenance and that equates to about $7 million in the 2526
053school year. transportation. There's a slight increase in the transportation fund uh budget and that is due to expanding the days of those positions to uh include the time that needs to be worked during the summer. And then also there was an a slight increase in their daily hours. So that's about a $500,000 increase to the contribution for as far as the summary for all all of the funds. Our but our district operates a $300 million budget and of that amount we're projecting to carry over about $75 million into the 2627 school year. And then finally moving into the multi-year projections. Again, these um projections were based off of the January governor's budget proposal. So again, the 2526 um cola is expected to be 2.3 instead of the 2.43. As uh in the second year of
054the multi-year projections, the January estimate was 3.52. As of the May revise, that number is 3.02. Um regarding the enrollment again we budget 2 and a.5% growth each year for um student enrollment growth and then um for the average daily attendance we're projecting all three years to be at 94%. the um unduplicated pupil percentage. Um we're because we're expecting to h have a rate of 70% each year. The average of that um is the 6983 in the in the in the first year and first budget year and then averaging out to 70% in the third year for this teachers retirement rate. Uh projected that to be this to stay the same at 19.10. And then as far as the PERS rate, that does increase slightly over the three years. I do have a correction on
055this page. This is the combined uh multi-year projections for um the the general fund budget. Um in the third year um I think what was published was like $11 million. It was actually the actual ending fund balance is 7.86. So it has been corrected on the slide. Um and then when you look at the reserve for economic uncertainty even at 7.86% we do expect to meet the 3% required reserve for economic uncertainties in the third year. Um because the 3% equates to 7.21 million and we're right a little over that at 7.86 million which equates to the 3.27%. 27%. And then in the on the restricted side, we have budgeted out the um the ending balance that we're estimating in 2526. So it has been budgeted out in the 2627 school year. And that's why
056there's a zero projected ending balance in the two out years. And with that, are there any questions? Thank you. Thank you, Carmen. All right. Thank you very much. All right. Thank you for that presentation. And so, at this time, we'll open up a public hearing at 7:05 p.m. Do we have any public wishing to comment or have any questions about the presentation and the preliminary budget? Okay, no public comments. So, we will close the public hearing at 7:05 p.m. and move on to item 13.3, which is adopt resolution 2024-25-32 for the spending determination of the 202526 education pro protection account EPA fund.

But I'm not I don't think there's enough
059um uh substantial information in the evaluation tool to hold people accountable to certain things. It's too vague for me. So that's all. Thank you, Miss Laura. Any other discussion? And it's our understanding that the evaluation tool is connected to the standards set by the state which aren't under we we have no decision making in that and aren't um necessarily happy about that.

Can you pull it a little closer? Can you hear me? There you go. Okay. Better. Sorry about that. bless you. Nope. No worries. Thank you. You're so comfortable. All right.
062Interesting. I didn't think I would. So, how was your Memorial weekend? It was nice. I was in Big Bear, so Okay, there we go. Okay. Oh, agenda. Okay, so we have six projects on the agenda. Uh, Starlet Elementary School Library overhang the Bowmont High School gym video walls, Glen View High School, new construction building, educational support facilities, new projects, uh, portable project, the Palm Innovation Academy new kitchen building, and the Atwell TK8 and Fairway Canyon TK5 committee list. So, the first one, you heard about this project last at the last board meeting. We installed an overhang over the library exterior doors and this was due to protect um, from any water intrusion during a rainy season. So, this project started back in March and we completed it in April. Uh, the final dollar amount spent
063on this project was $179,000. In the two photos, you can see the final design. Has it been tested yet? Say that again. Hasn't rained since Oh, actually there was a bit some rain in April and we did speak to the principal and there was no intrusion. So, that was good news there. What do you know? Uh, the next project, uh, Bowmont High School gym video walls. This was also a very small project that was completed um within one month. We installed two display boards at the east and west gym walls. Uh they were essentially to display the displays will be engaging to I apologize. The display will provide engaging content that enhances event experiences. There was a clip on this. I guess we can't play the clip. Um but that you can see video wall
064on there. And so the final budget uh expenditure was $145,000. Okay. Glen View High School new classroom building also discussed at the last board meeting. It consists uh four classrooms uh staff and student restrooms, data and electrical rooms, landscaping, electrical upgrades, ADA, path of travel. Uh the project started back in September and it's slated to be completed in August. Uh the architect is RCA construction manager Le Desmond Meyer and this is an $8 million budget project. How many classrooms are going to be there? Four classrooms. Four classrooms. Yes. And the next slide you can see the construction that's currently ongoing. So to the left you see drywalls currently go ongoing and then the window and door frames are completed. We also uh installed an 8 2in water line and a new meter for the new
065building. And then at the far right you can see the restroom reference going on. The next bill uh project is the ESF new portables project. Uh you probably have seen that construction ongoing. So that started last month. It's slated to be completed in August. Uh the architect is PBK construction manager in Nef construction and this is a $6.9 million project. Next slide you can see the actual construction that's going. We we're actually a little advanced more this these photos were for uh from two weeks ago but you can see the grading that was ongoing. and then also the building paths that were built and the rebart that was added for the new buildings. And then to the far right, there was a main irrigation water line that we had to relocate because it was in
066the footprint of our uh future restroom. So that's been completed. The next project, Palm Innovation Academy, new kitchen building. Uh this project includes a new kitchen building, kitchen equipment, lunch shelter, landscaping, ADA, path of travel upgrades, and a new parking lot reconfiguration. So this project started in May this month and then is slated to be completed in April of 2026. Uh the architect of record is RCA construction manager led Desmond Meyer and this project budget is $7.3 million. The next slide um we've been moving a little bit slower this month just because of student testing. So we've been working with the principal on um the timeline. So, and this June we'll be ramping up in construction, but during the month of May, we installed our temporary fencing for our layown area. We created a temporary
067parking lot for staff since we're going to be using the existing staff parking for layown and also um construction parking. And then this last slide, we have the Atwell TK8 and Fairways Canyon TK5 proposed committee. So this is the committee that is being proposed right now for uh to develop our educational specifications and our um schematic design and that is the end of a presentation unless anyone has questions. Thank you. Looks good. Yes. Thank you very much. Thank you. Okay. 16.2 Two, a proven agreement for architectural engineering services with PBK architects for the Fairway Canyon TK through 5 school project. Do I have a motion? Move approval. Second. Moved by Susie, seconded by David. Any discussion? I do have one question. Is Is there a not to exceed amount on this contract? Is there a
068not to exceed amount on the contract? Um, there's not uh it's not uh board member Lara. This is on a uh based on a sliding scale that the state puts together. Uh so it's following the same format. What does that mean? Uh which means is right now we have estimated cost on the project and the architectures the architect's fee is based on that preliminary uh uh estimated cost which is we're proposing that this this project overall is going to cost about $50 million. Based on that uh the architect's fees is based on the hard cost the design which is typically about $35 million. Okay. So, do we um does they know the architects know that our they know what our budget is and they know to stay within those parameters and not go over. Is
069that right? They do. Uh we have a very uh we have a an agreement that was prepared by our legal council uh based again on the sliding scale that the office of public school construction has been using for many years. Um this is a um based on milestones completed. But one of the first phases that we're asking the architect is to help us with uh the education specifications, preliminary design and schematics. The the architect will not move for f further until we secure the the property and we move forward into approvals with with the board. Okay. I just I'm want to be cautious about overdesigning, you know, and all these really cool things at these different school sites because we've tried that in the past and some things work and some things don't. So I
070just kindergarten door. Kindergarten door. Exactly. that that's right or a stairs that you know a little seating area in a hallway. So um just that's my concern. I just want to make sure that we're and part of this process that this what we're asking the architect in this phase is with uh as Miss Gonzalez presented the design committee is going to be working uh with the architect and we'll be presenting with to the board on the on the process and each step as we move forward with with schematics design. So the board will be involved and you'll see the specific designs. You will be have having that approvals. Okay. And as always, just pay attention to the traffic around the school. Always always and the parking. It's my my nitpicky thing. Any other discussion? Okay.
071Call for a vote. [Music] It's always motion carries. Item number 16.3, approve resolution 2024-25-33. F um finding is that supposed to be funding the Mountain View and Sangragonio middle schools and the Summerwind Trails K through 8th school portables edition project exempt finding the project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act and approving the filing of a notice of exemption. Do I have a motion? So moved. Second. Moved by Susie, seconded by David. Any discussion? Call for a vote. Did you have discussion? I had discussion. Sorry. Um so, and I think I brought this up before, but um these are all brand new portables at um Mountain View since um Mountain View, San Sangreonio, and Samarind. These are all brand new portables. We're not replacing or using these funds to renovate any existing portables. Is that
072correct? That is correct, Mr. Brown. Um, and the existing portables at these sites, how how old are they and what's the expected lifespan of the ones we're putting in? Right. So, on Summerwind, that that school does not have any portables on site, so they're receiving four brand new portables. Mountain View um has I believe there's only one old old portable that doesn't even qualify for um for continual use. That's going to be removed sitting in the footprint of the four new portables that the the site's going to be receiving. In terms of the the age of these other portables, I don't have that in front of me. Okay. Sangonio, as you know, is one of our oldest schools and that has very very old portables. I would guess that over 30 year old portables on
073site. Um uh the four new portables are over 25 for mountain. Yes. Wait. Oh wait, I'm sorry. Yeah. Over 20 25. It's been open for 25 and we've added horables immediately. Mountain View. Mhm. Yes, it has been that long. When did we open Mountain View? Over 25 years. The new one. The old new one. The new old one. The old one. The the old new one. Well, we can provide in the in the Friday memo an inventory in the age of our buildings if you would like. Yeah, I'm I'm just a little concerned about some of the older portables that we have at some of our school sites um especially um Sangreonia. But um yeah, I'd love some more information about that. Thank you, Sergio. And did they did he answer the expected lifespan of
074the new ones? Well, the expected lifespan of the ones that are already there and how long a new portable like you said that we had one portable that was aging out and we were getting rid of it. Like, but what's the when does a portable age out for student use? Yeah, a portable classroom portable buildings they're they're temporary classrooms. Their their average age is between 15 and 25 years. Um, after that, it just becomes very very expensive to keep them and maintain them. uh but their their use is for temporary use. Um again 15 between 15 and 25 years is the lifespan of a of a portable classroom. So basically Sergio the one that we cannot use for student use is the one that becomes uncertifiable by DSA the department of state architect. That is
075absolutely correct. So typically when we have portables that are in in the way of a new building we can pick them up and relocate them. That's however this specific one it will be too expensive and to do anything with it. Um it's reaches life it lifespan and I believe it's like over 30 years old. So that's why we would need to demo and remove it off site. Okay. Um, I'm still a little confused about So, if we're buying these portables that have a short lifespan, but we have a growing population everywhere, they're they have a they basically have a cost per year, right? because they're whereas a a regular construction wouldn't. We just can't afford to build is anything because we we have to do what we have to do at this point. But all
076right, thank you. Any other discussion? Okay, call for vote. And motion carries. 16.4. Approve the award of bid number 2024-25-17 Summerwind Trails um growth portables. Is there a motion? Move approval. Second. Moved by Susie, seconded by David. Any discussion? All right. call for a vote and motion carries. 17.0 um 17.1 receive a report from CSEA. Is anybody here from CSEA? Um, BTA 17.3 receive a report from the Bulmont Administrators Confidential Management Employees Group. Good evening, President Williamson, Superintendent Kiche, board members, cabinet colleagues, community. Uh, first I wanted to thank uh our student board members, Bren Satley and Caitlyn Deros for for their service to uh our school district. Um, as Superintendent KE said, uh, keeping the main thing the main thing, which is our students and prioritizing student voice, um, is critical. And so the
077fact that we have student board members is, uh, I think a testament to what our district values. Uh, so I want to thank you both. Um, even though I think Kate left, good for her. Um, Oh, she awesome. I want to thank you both for for uh, what you brought to our board. Um, also want to thank uh Dr. Chang and her team for not just the presentation tonight, but the process of the LCAP. Um, I'm a part of the LCAP writing team and and when I say that, I probably wrote two words. They wrote a whole lot more. Um, but it involved a lot of people throughout the year and and through her leadership, I think there's a a phenomenal document to lead our our district. Um, also wanted to welcome Anna Valentine, our
078new executive assistant instructional support services. Um, I apologize ahead of time for all the director headaches that you will have. Um, and also wanted to uh just speak about senior awards night. Again, thinking about what we prioritize as a district. Um, graduations and everything are coming up next week, but seeing senior awards night and the amazing accomplishments of all of our students, I think even though it is a long night, I think that actually is telling of the amazing things that we do every day and that our students are able to achieve through the support of all of our of all of our school sites and educators. Um, so it was a it was a phenomenal night. I want to thank the BHS team, but also again for what it it says about our district
079and the amazing people who are here. So, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 17.4 receive a report from board member David Sanchez. Well, thank you, President Miss Williamson. Um, the month of May is always a blur to me, but a lot went on. So, I have little pieces here and there, but Miss Williamson and I were in Sacramento two weeks ago, and the CSBA up there, we have the policy pillars. It's broken down into four different areas. Improving conditions for children, strengthening governance, secure fair funding, and ensure achievement achievement for all. And then our group is broken up and we come up with policy platforms. Um that was exciting. And what's also exciting for me is that um the appointment of Miss Williamson through Bruce Dennis, the director for the area because now I have
080someone to to talk to up there that's in the same district and uh it makes it a little bit more energizing. The next is um there was a final report given and this has to deal with Mr. um uh Brown over here. Uh, it was on AI. The final task report was released and you can find that on the CSBBA website and you mailed it to him. You mailed it. Okay, good. And it's under the governance and policy tab for those who are paying attention out there on YouTube land. Um, next I'd like to say I appreciated the uh LCAP presentation and and going through the new format with us. Last but not least is a concern though, the Los Angeles Times reported a uh a gang of adults storming the high school in Riverside,
081which is just right next door. And that was Martin Luther King on May the 20th to attack a student who was in a fight earlier that day with uh on that campus. What's what's nerve-wracking is that these this gang of adults stormed through the office as reported by the press enterprise bypassing office staff and also school security. Riverside's just right next door and security is always a concern. Um maybe it's that time where our district has to have that discussion about not just having security guards but trained individuals that are allowed to have something greater than uh uh Kevlar and a voice. Um, personally, I'm thinking stun guns and water cannons for this kind of a situation, but uh it it's scary out there. And again, I think I'd rather be in front of the
082issue than behind the issue like Riverside is at this moment. So again, I know the words I used were a little harsh about stun guns, but um I couldn't think of anything else to help our our security and our school staff uh in in such an uh in such a situation. And again, Riverside is much bigger than our school and I would assume they had greater levels of security staff. But in the end, it does look like uh that child was assaulted as well as the several adults that were employees of the school district. again as reported by the Los Angeles Times and the press enterprise. Other than that, thank you, Miss Williamson, and graduations are just right around the corner now. Thank you, David. I appreciate that. All right, Mr. Jeff Brown. So, I
083want to give a little bit of context to what um Mr. Sanchez said. Um uh that's one of my day job. That's one of my schools. Um Martin Luther King High School is a very unique uh high school design. The front office building is three stories tall and the only thing inside the front door is a security desk. Um so when they said they went through the front office, the the administrative offices, the attendance offices, the guidance counselor's offices are all on the second and third floor. So they kind of came in one door and looped around to another door and there's one person standing there at a raptor station and they they just walked around that person um who then followed them and used their radio to call for assistance. Um and and yes,
084a couple of the campus uh supervisors for Martin Luther King were hurt in the process and uh and and that really is too bad. the the school SRO also responded very quickly. He was in his office. Um, but yes, it is a I think they're going to take a good look at how that that entry way is kind of designed and how the doors access the campus. I think there's going to be some pretty serious looks into how that works. But um it was definitely something for us as a smaller district. But King High School is the largest high school in Riverside Unified with a student population of about 2600 uh students. So smaller than ours. Um Riverside Unified is a much larger district. They have uh five comprehensive high schools and King is the
085largest but even at the largest they're smaller than what we have. So we are at a a a significant risk as well and you know making sure our ingresses and egresses are secure is is a huge concern that I share with Mr. Sanchez. Um the focus of what I wanted to talk about in my board report was I definitely wanted to thank both of the student board members for their year of service to us um and to the district. Um to us I mean the community at large. I don't mean to school board itself but um as a community member. I appreciate the service that they provided to all of us and I want to thank them for taking the time. But um I have a kid who's going to be a senior next next
086year and and and I want to thank their parents for the obvious time investment that that took. Um you're all still here. So, um that again the the time and the and the and and the patience and the um the you know the the kid management of making sure that they take care of all of their obligations and they have time to be here and to be at other events and to also have uh time to take care of their senior year obligations and and and all of that stuff. So the whole family and the and the student board members themselves, I want to thank them. Um and uh yeah, that that's it. Thank you. Okay, Miss Susie, Laura. Okay. All right. Um I I do want to say thank you, Bren, and Kate. Um,
087and your parents should be very proud of you for the job you did while you were here. Um, you guys did great. So, should be very proud of them. I'm excited for your graduation coming up. So, what you got, you guys only have what, three days left. There's actually seven student days left. So, it's hard to believe we're all coming down to the wire. It's amazing. Um, attended the recognition dinner. was great to um recognize all the retirees and the um years of service and all that. Just uh it's pretty neat to see that and we have a lot of people that have a long tenure here and that says a lot about our district. Um this was a great year this year. Uh senior awards was great. Um a lot of students were recognized,
088a lot of scholarships were given out. I appreciate the community and their involvement in the scholarship process for our students and um just to sit there and watch them come up and get their scholarships and the smiles on their faces and just how excited they are and it's very cool and just then the other accolades they're getting. It just it's wonderful to see. So I know everybody really enjoys that part. Um with that we will see you at graduation and thank you. That's it. Okay. And uh Dr. Lansen Sylvester is absent tonight. Um so I just wanted to take a moment to uh remember Memorial Day yesterday and the sacrifices given by those who gave all for our country and say thank you for that. I know I I don't do justice to that, but
089it's it's worth mentioning um what yesterday really meant for us and for our country. And the retirement and longevity dinner was great. Um I know it takes a lot to put together and I know it's been said, but thank you um for that. And uh the yes, the delegate assembly is um a good time. Not a good time. It's well kind of not a good time. It's just it's a time where we can uh set the direction of what policies CSBA supports, doesn't support, and um have an impact hopefully on what moves forward in our state. I know there's like some frustration at times about what local governance what abilities we have with local governance and sometimes it seems like state is taking more and more control over that and so um that's that's a
090ongoing frustration. I like to look at what I can do about things and sometimes maybe that isn't enough. Um, but serving on the delegates delegate assembly is is an honor and I'm glad to be there with David. Um, usually a district our size doesn't have two delegates. So, it's really we're really fortunate to have that representation for our district. Um, senior awards nights were great. This was the second year for all all of our alternative high schools and um it went really well and uh Benisha, you do a great job. Um and yes, it is a long night for Bowmont High, but it ran really well and it it was very smooth. Um it it's just it's really done well and so um it's it's enjoyable and I'm so proud um of all of our
091seniors and the accomplishments. Um I think being a graduate this year myself, it hit home because I realized how much kind of stress it is at that time of year and everything you go through to graduate. And so, um, it was really cool to be there and, uh, and thanks again for the LCAP and the budget presentations. And certainly, I will just, um, say, I guess going last, you kind of repeat a lot, but our safety, our district safety has always been a real concern for me. And um I know that obviously you were here for academic focus, but unless we're safe, we can't we can't do any of that. And so thank you Jeff for bringing or David for bringing that up and Jeff for the additional information about what actually happened. But it
092is always good to be ahead of situations. So hopefully we can have that conversation in the future um about some proactive measures to take. And with that, we will be adjourning into close session again this evening. So if y'all want to hang out, no, we probably won't need you to hang out, but um that's it. So 7:45 we'll adjourn in back into close session. Um Melissa, we have to take a motion to go back into close session. I always forget that. So I move we go back into close session on items 5.2, 5.3, 5.5, 5.6, 6 5.7. Okay. Moved by Susie. Second. Seconded by Jeff. Thank you. All right. Call for a vote. Well, we don't go into close session that back into close session that often. So, Yep. Exactly. Abstain. I have no opinion.
093I have no opinion. Just do it. Actually, I'll just die. Did I not vote again or what? Is mine frozen or No, you're good. It shows you voted. You did. Oh, Britney. Oh, Bren. I I logged out. Oh. So, um you want me to go back in? No. No. No. We can just do a um roll call. Let's Yeah. So, did everybody vote in favor to adjourn to close session? Thank you so much. All right.
